[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does maintenance work? If I achieve results and my BMI becomes normal, how does the doc justify continuing to prescribe? By looking at the history? What if I start with one doc, achieve results and then need to go to a different doc to get maintenance doze prescription? Transfer records? Just want to plan for long-term here. Thank you. [/quote]

I don't think there is a standard of care with regard to this yet. What most doctors seem to be doing is either lowering the dose or spreading out the dosing (taking the shot every 10 days instead of every 7 or whatever) or both. They "justify continuing to prescribe" easily as obesity is considered a chronic condition based on the current science. When I started taking Wegovy, my doctor told me I'd be staying on it for life. Changing doctors shouldn't be any different than it would be with any medication/condition. [/quote]

So you’ll still be shooting up in the nursing home? Ha no thanks [/quote]

Omg. Imagine shooting up for the next 30 years for vanity weight (not diabetic). [/quote]

Wegovy is a medication for a chronic condition -- one does not "shoot up for the next 30 years for vanity weight." One takes a weekly medication to treat obesity and all of the attendant health problems. But you knew that, didn't you ... you just felt the need to be nasty to people on the internet today.
